INDIANA STANDARDS FOR K-12 HEALTH & WELLNESS
Standards Alignment
At LifeSmart Youth, we are committed to providing high-quality, age-appropriate, and medically accurate prevention education that aligns with recognized educational standards and Indiana Standards for grades K-12 Health and Wellness requirements.
Our programs are designed to support schools, educators, and community partners by delivering evidence-based/evidence-informed instruction that reinforces student health, safety, and well-being.
Indiana State Requirements
LifeSmart Youth complies with all Indiana laws and guidance on school-based prevention and human sexuality education.
Our programs:
Emphasize abstinence as the expected standard for school-age youth in accordance with Indiana law
Provide medically accurate, age-appropriate information
Support transparency and parent/guardian access requirements under Indiana Senate Bill 442
Work in partnership with schools to ensure compliance with district policies and procedures
We understand the importance of transparency and collaboration with schools and families, and work to ensure instructional materials and resources are accessible when required. LSY also hosts Virtual Safe Adult Information nights monthly.
Indiana Academic Standards Met By LifeSmart Youth Curriculum
Indiana Code § 20-30-5-13 states, “when sexuality education is taught, abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage must be stressed. Instruction must teach that abstinence outside of marriage and a mutually monogamous relationship inside of marriage are the best ways to avoid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and other associated health problems.” LifeSmart Youth adheres to Indiana’s legal requirements in our abstinence-based programs. We also utilize the medically accurate definition of abstinence as “not engaging in vaginal, oral, or anal sex.” In accordance with Indiana law SB442, parents of the youth served by LifeSmart Youth are provided “Opt-Out” consent forms for the Human Growth & Development and 3Rs programs.
